Disclaimer
You acknowledge that this disclaimer forms an integral part of the report. This report is not an all-encompassing document dealing with the building from every aspect. It looks to find obvious or significant defects clear at the time of the inspection. Whether or not a defect is considered significant can relate to the age and type of the building inspected. This is not a structural report. For advice of a structural nature contact a structural engineer.
Identification of hazardous materials or situations that may be in the building or on or near the property is outside the scope of this inspection.
This report is not a certificate of compliance of the property under any act, regulation, ordinance, local law or by-law. It is not a warranty against problems developing with the building in the future. This report does not include the detection and identification of unauthorised or illegal building, plumbing or electrical work or of work not compliant with building regulations. With respect to minor defects, the inspection is limited to reporting on their overall extent not listing each one.
This is a visual inspection only as required by Australian Standard 4349.1 - 2007 Pre-purchase Inspections - Residential buildings - Appendix C, limited to those areas and sections of the property fully accessible and visible to the inspector on the date of Inspection. We have not inspected woodwork or other parts of the structure which are covered, unexposed or inaccessible and we are therefore unable to report that any such part of the structure is free from defect. The inspection did not include breaking apart, dismantling, removing or moving objects including, but not limited to, foliage, moulding's, roof insulation/sisalation, floor or wall coverings, sidings, ceilings, floors, furnishings, appliances or personal possessions. The inspector does not see inside walls, between floors, inside skillion roofing, behind stored goods in cupboards and other areas that are concealed or obstructed. The inspector did not dig, gouge, force or perform invasive procedures. Visible timbers were not destructively probed or hit. The inspection does not cover areas where access was denied or unavailable to the inspector or defects that may have been concealed or where the identification of a defect may be subject to the prevailing weather conditions or to patterns of use or occupancy of the property. It does not cover the presence or absence of timber pests; gas-fittings; common property areas; environmental concerns; the proximity of the property to flight paths, railways, or busy traffic; noise levels; health and safety issues; heritage concerns; security concerns; fire protection; seepage; swimming pools/spas; durability of exposed finishes; neighbourhood problems; document analysis; electrical installation; any matters that are regulated by statute.
Items that require a service to be connected to conduct an inspection will need the required service to be connected. This includes but is not limited to items that require water, gas and/or power connections to work and/or inspect. We recommend that you consult with the real estate agent or current homeowner to ensure that the required connections are connected and operational prior to this inspection being conducted. Any items that I am unable to determine the current serviceability of due to a service not being connected will be shown as such on the report. The report will be considered as being complete. *An additional fee will apply if a secondary/follow up inspection is requested due to services not being connected at the time of the Inspection.
ASBESTOS: No inspection or testing for asbestos was done and no report on the presence or absence of asbestos is provided. During the Inspection if asbestos or materials having asbestos happened to be noticed it may be noted in the report. Buildings built prior to 1986 commonly have materials that hold asbestos, and buildings built up until the early 90s may contain some asbestos. Where in any doubt, the material should be assumed to have asbestos unless testing finds otherwise, and you should consider obtaining advice from an asbestos expert. Sanding, drilling, cutting, removing sheeting or disturbing products having Asbestos that results in releasing airborne asbestos fibres is a health risk.
MOULD: No inspection for mould was done and no report on the presence or absence of mould is provided. If during the inspection, mould happened to be noticed it may be noted in the report. If you are concerned as to the possible health risk resulting from any mould, you should seek advice from a relevant expert.
COSTING ADVICE: Australian Standard AS 4349.1 - 2007 excludes provision of costing advice. Any cost advice supplied verbally or in this report must be taken as of a general nature and is not to be relied on. Actual costs depend on the quality of materials, standard of work, what price a contractor is prepared to do the work for and may be contingent on approvals, delays and unknown factors associated with third parties. Independent quotes should be obtained if a cost of defects is of significance in negotiations on the purchase of a property as well as prior to any work being done. No liability is accepted for costing advice.
DISPUTE PROCEDURE: The Client agrees that any claim of failure in the accuracy of the report shall be reported in writing to the Inspector within five business days of receiving the report and that failure to notify the inspector within that timeframe shall form a waiver of all claims. The Inspector shall have five business days to respond to the claim. If the Inspector does not satisfy the claim, liability shall be limited to a full refund of the price paid for the Inspection Report.
THIRD PARTIES: We will not be liable for any loss, damage, cost or expense whatsoever, suffered or incurred by anyone relying on this report other than the client named on this report.
